Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 344 - 92: Zhou Xun: Just as I Expected!
Underground cultivation room,
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, with seven Tier Two Low-Grade puppet beasts scattered beside him.
So looked like monkeys, others like lizards, and so like tigers, each different from the other.
Thanks to Master Hu Kui’s explanation, Zhou Xun was able to quickly improve his puppet refining skills.
After all, originally he could only refine Tier One High-Grade puppets, and that was because he used a lot of Tier Two materials.
Otherwise, he might not even have been able to refine them!
"At this pace, I will soon be able to refine Quasi-Third Tier, or even third-tier puppets!"
Master Hu Kui’s greatest contribution was filling in so basic theoretical gaps in his Path of Puppetry, solidifying the foundation.
This is also the disadvantage of being self-taught, often lacking a solid foundation.
With Master Hu Kui’s guidance, Zhou Xun’s future progress in puppetry will certainly not be slow.
And Master Hu Kui, at Zhou Xun’s earnest invitation,
stayed for a full half year before returning to Fengg Country.
anwhile, he refined three Quasi-Third Tier puppet beasts for Zhou Xun, adding to his original one, making a total of four.
Four Quasi-Third Tier puppet beasts, cooperating with each other, could easily make an ordinary True Pill Cultivator retreat!
These puppet beasts are his trump card prepared for Wangchuan Lake!
Ever since he learned in Fengyuan that in the Eastern Wilderness, one cannot form a Golden Core nor cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, Zhou Xun knew that he would eventually leave here.
And without his presence, Wangchuan Lake would easily attract others’ covetousness, so leaving so ans is highly necessary!
These puppet beasts, which only need enough High-Grade Spirit Stones to operate, are extrely suitable treasures.
Of course, before leaving, he will still control these puppet beasts himself.
...
At the sa ti, over the past half year, those thirty-eight treasure talismans have also been preliminarily nurtured and can form a Celestial Spirit Talisman Array if enemies co.
Although it is in the initial stage, the current Celestial Spirit Talisman Array can barely handle Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators.
And as nurturing ti progresses, their power will certainly increase!
It’s a real late-stage combat power ans for the future!
"My current strength would be considered superior in the entire Eastern Wilderness too!"
Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
"The matter of the lake bottom spirit vein can also gradually be opened up!"
Otherwise, as a Half-Step Golden Core, it doesn’t sound good if my site only has a Tier Two Spirit Vein!
...
"Husband, what are you taking to the lake bottom for?" Song Yiqing asked, full of confusion, as she conjured a mana light shield to keep the water out.
"You’ll find out soon, just follow !" Zhou Xun smiled mysteriously.
Following Zhou Xun’s figure, Song Yiqing continued to delve deeper.
"One thousand feet!"
"Three thousand feet!"
"Five thousand feet!"
...
Continuing all the way to ten thousand feet deep!
"I didn’t expect the lake to be so deep!" Song Yiqing exclaid in awe!
"You will probably be even more amazed soon!" Zhou Xun chuckled inwardly!
Soon, the two arrived at that narrow exit.
As soon as they crossed it, their view suddenly opened up!
"Is this... an Underground Immortal Realm, and the spiritual energy is so dense?" Song Yiqing looked on in a daze!
This was actually an enormous cave, more than ten thousand feet in length and width, and a thousand feet high.
The stone walls above were dotted with white light, like stars in the night, illuminating the entire cave into a vast expanse of white.
As if in an illusion realm.
What shocked her even more was the extrely dense spiritual energy here, surpassing any spirit vein she had ever seen.
"This is not an Immortal Realm, this is our cave mansion!" Zhou Xun said with a slight smile!
"Our cave mansion!" Song Yiqing murmured.
"The spiritual energy concentration here seems to have reached the Tier Three level, could this be the legendary Tier Three Spirit Vein?"
Song Yiqing asked.
"Yes and no!"
"This is a Tier Three Spirit Vein, but it’s a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Vein, and it’s very long, I’ve explored it before!"
"Nearly two hundred miles long!"
As Zhou Xun spoke, he gestured towards the underground dark river ahead, saying:
"Originally, there were many demon beasts here, but I’ve cleared them out and set up an array, so it’s much less populated now!"
"Husband truly has great fortune; casually selecting a site, and it just happens to have a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Vein that’s extrely rare in the entire Eastern Wilderness!"
"Did Husband rely on this spirit vein to progress so quickly?" Song Yiqing asked.
"Indeed," Zhou Xun nodded, then took Song Yiqing’s hand and said:
"In the future, this is also your place for cultivation. I hope you can soon reach the Foundation Establishnt Peak and strive for Core Formation!"
"Thank you, Husband!" Song Yiqing looked at Zhou Xun, filled with gratitude.
"Let’s go, and take a look at your cave mansion!" Imdiately, Zhou Xun took Song Yiqing’s hand and flew through this gigantic underground space.
Previously, when Zhou Xun decided to reveal this place, he had instructed the puppets to dig out a cave mansion.
The cave mansion is right next to Zhou Xun’s, with the layout, structure, and setup entirely consistent with the cave mansion on the Lake Heart Island above ground.
"Husband... this!"
Looking at this familiar cave mansion, Song Yiqing’s eyes welled up with tears.
She didn’t expect that Zhou Xun, a dignified True Pill Cultivator, would still be so attentive to her.
In this lifeti, being able to serve Zhou Xun is truly a great blessing, making the luckiest person in the world.
"Thankfully, I listened to Uncle Seven’s words back then; otherwise, I would have missed Zhou Lang!"
Thinking of this, a trace of lingering fear flashed through her mind!
"As long as you like it!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily, gave a gentle push, and the two of them fell down.
Unbeknownst to them, they had ended up in the bedroom.
They were sleepless the entire night, only resting at noon the next day.
Song Yiqing lay in Zhou Xun’s arms, her face still carrying a slight blush that had yet to fade, filled with satisfaction.
"Yiqing, in the future, you shall cultivate here!"
"Yes, my husband, I’ll listen to you. By the way, what about Xiaojia and Xiaojin?" Song Yiqing asked.
After all, Zhou Xun’s three Spirit Beasts were previously her responsibility to feed.
If she were to stay here in seclusion for cultivation, she might not have ti to feed them, and it would be too troubleso to go up to Lake Heart Island every other day!
Not to ntion, it would easily expose this place.
"No worries, I have already brought them with ; staying in a place with high Spiritual Qi concentration is beneficial for their growth!"
Saying this, Zhou Xun patted the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and three Demon Beasts imdiately appeared there.
They almost filled the entire room, and if Zhou Xun hadn’t made the cave mansion larger, they might not have fit.
These three Demon Beasts, with the Profound Armor Armadillo being the highest level, are only at the Tier Two High-Grade level. Despite their extraordinary bloodline and formidable combat power, they are still in the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
For him now, they offer little help.
Not to ntion the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp and Crimson Fla Simurgh, which are only Tier Two Middle-Grade.
Therefore, Zhou Xun hopes that they can grow to Tier Three soon and beco his helpers.
"Since my husband has already made arrangents, I will comply!" Song Yiqing said in a bird-like obedient manner.
Zhou Xun laughed heartily again and took out another token, handing it to Song Yiqing.
"This is the Array Manipulation Token for the Lake Bottom Spiritual Vein Array; you can keep it. Should you need, you may enter and exit freely!"
"Yes!"
...
Ever since Zhou Xun successfully refined the Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, he has been much more relaxed.
Residing at the lake’s bottom,
after daily cultivation, he would enjoy tea, paint talismans, refine pills, and study the Path of Puppetry...
Whenever he felt interested, he would find ti to be with Song Yiqing.
It truly felt like the saying "so pleasant here, I don’t miss returning to my holand."
Thus, the days went by one after another.
On this day, Weih Qiuxin delivered three letters.
The first two were sent from the front lines of Golden Ape Valley.
One letter was from Wang Erniu, and one was transmitted by Master Yun Yi.
Both letters discussed the attack on the Celestial Feather Sect base at Golden Ape Valley.
Shortly after Master Yun Yi sent out the letters, he led the Xui Country cultivators to launch the attack.
As expected, the Celestial Feather Sect, being one of the three major sects in Yean Country with a foundation of thousands of years,
The base’s Grand Array turned out to be Tier Three Middle-Grade.
Relying on the power of the array and the cultivation of the Celestial Feather Sect Second Elder at the Middle-Stage Core Formation, they managed to overpower Master Yun Yi.
Master Jin Hong and Master Profound Cloud were only at the Middle-Stage Core Formation, and their thods were rather ordinary.
Master Jin Hong fared better, as his opponent, Wu Zongdao, did not possess a sharp magical treasure; even with the support of the array, he couldn’t do much to Master Jin Hong.
Xuan Feizi, however, was different, for he faced a proper True Pill cultivator from the Celestial Feather Sect, along with the power of a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array.
Due to a strategic error, he was severely injured, and were it not for Master Yun Yi’s rescue, he might have faced the risk of falling.
Even for True Pill cultivators, the outco was such that other cultivators suffered even greater losses.
Three Fake Pill cultivators fell, two more were severely injured, and the rest were all wounded.
Over fifty Foundation Establishnt cultivators fell, over thirty were severely injured, and even Wang Erniu suffered considerable injuries.
As for Qi Refining cultivators, the losses were even heavier, with directly losing a quarter!
Such a great defeat naturally forced the Xui Country side to retreat to Golden Ape Valley!
By this ti, Zhou Xun’s reply had also been delivered to the front lines of Golden Ape Valley.
Upon reading the letter, Master Yun Yi was greatly amazed by Zhou Xun’s judgnt and filled with regret!
If only they had returned Zhou Xun’s letter earlier, or waited until receiving his letter to act, this great defeat could have been avoided!
With this battle, the original advantage of the Xui Country side was entirely lost, and the battle situation returned to a stalemate.
What worried Master Yun Yi the most was the Celestial Feather Sect Grand Elder who had yet to appear.
If this person truly breakthrough to the Late-Stage Core Formation, it seems it would be the end for their Xui Country.
Thus, in the letter, Master Yun Yi earnestly invited Zhou Xun to the front lines of Golden Ape Valley, even willing to yield the position of chief commander to follow his orders.
To this, Zhou Xun offered no definitive answer!
Although his avatar had ans to deal with Late-Stage Core Formation cultivators, it was just a counterasure and not a winning strategy.
At most, it would be a stalemate!
Moreover, his avatar was only at the Early-Stage Core Formation, not as persistent as a Late-Stage Core Formation ti.
As the Celestial Feather Sect is a long-standing major sect, they definitely possess powerful treasures, making it very possible for him to suffer a setback here.
Therefore, until his thirty-eight Treasure Talismans matured to Great Success, he did not consider leaving.
After reading the first two letters, Zhou Xun opened the third letter.
This letter was from the Xu Family!
The Xu Family, once one of the four great families of Xui Country,
With a quick glance, Zhou Xun revealed a knowing expression:
"I didn’t expect Xu Qingxiao to have ford a Golden Core!"
